AmericA help: So I just have a question for all the British people out there. - Help.com

places in england are a different type of ‘rough’ america seems more hit by poverty than england, it isnt all bad here just places manchester and nottingham are bad

what south london is dump!!

everyone gives it large, trying to be something there not. brittish rappers are gay. and are a huge disappointment. except the streets lol, but thats not really rapping.

i have to say the government has a big part to do with it. we have so many laws and “issues” so people dont complain or get offended, its a joke.

the gang culture down south and places like manchester and liverpool, are high. people mostly getting killed, so other people can be a name.
knife crime is at an all time as well.and more and more guns are being found on the streets of london.

and whilst the government comes out with stupid plans to try and save the youth. its just to save face and money.

I see a pattern here…
south london
south bronx
south central LA
south DC
south boston

all the rough areas are in the south… of course i’ve never been to other major cities.

oi! oh wait actually yeah you’re right it can be that bad, cept the merseys more disgusting than outside of it

I think every major city has a rough area. With such a large group of people, there will be some who are like that. They congregate, form gangs, and fight. Why? Who knows. It’s human nature, and those people take it too far.

I have a friend from Athens and she says there’s a rough area there too… Even though you think of Athens as some ancient, historic city.

well kuvri look at the last 3 days, mind I support the rioters in athens

yeah, but that’s not ongoing violence like there is in ghetto areas… it’s only been about 4 days. also, the violence there sparked “higher up”.

very true mas…..but i have to admit, if i were a northern monkey! i would being crying non stop!

nah not really., its probably like where you come from. you get your good people and you get your bad people.

but like i said, most people down south are just trying to be a name. and the amount of youth crime, and anti social behavior is a joke.

as an adult, if i see a person under 16, giving it large and i step in to help the other person. if i give that person or group of people a slap, im the one who gets in trouble with the law.

people watch to many films, and want to be come “gangsters”.
the true gangsters and mobsters over here, you dont even know about. they keep themselves hidden, as best they can.

There are a lot of rough places in GB. Speaking from what I know in South London there are a lot of gangs. People can’t got to certain areas or you’ll get hurt. Personally they are trying to clone the American lifestlye but it doesn’t really work because they look stupid. In terms of the music from what I hear it’s all heart felt. Don’t get me wrong there are some that try and pretend that their lives are harder than it really is but that must be the same over in the states. What MAS 1st said about someone getting killed whilst skating I know about an incident like that it might be the same one where it happened in Streatham. It’s getting worse because the kids are taking over from 9 years old which didn’t happen before and the oldest members of these gangs are like 40. Britains a much smaller place but it is really rough and getting rougher. To end my point-Britain isn’t as rough as the US, the music is mostly the truth but they are trying to be like the Americans mostly too.

wow makaveliprinces you come from streatham? that place is horrible lol
only good part is the ice ring!!!

I’m not from Streatham DoubleGin19 and I’m not sure that the person I was talkin about was called James but then again I’ve only heard of one death at that ice rink last year.

yeh i heard about that death at the ice ring. didnt know much about it. and didnt know his name was james. but i heard about some one being killied at streatham ice ring.

london,manchester liverpool nottingham bristol birmingham an the list go’s on this country has jus as much organised crime as america knife crime is on the up jus coz we dont hav relaxed gun laws like america if we did this country would be worse thats my belief! drugs robbery prostitution are all on the rise

In Dublin.. Most of Ireland actually. The Northside is the rough side. Now I’m not one to point the conspiracy finger but..

My cousin’s wife is an A&E nurse in Glasgow.
She has told me many times that the number one treatment at all A&Es in Scotland is knife wounds.
A few years back they Glasgow council declared that bars and clubs could no longer serve drinks in glass containers. Too many people were being maimed in fights.

I’ve never listend to any British rap. On the second thought, I think I’ll try that. LMAO

Hi,

Some places in the UK are quite bad/rough. We are getting more teens carrying guns, more shootings. It’s not the same as say south central in the 80’s but it’s getting crazy in London. People get cut up or shot every weekend. The thing that makes this quite scary is that it’s not well known gangs fighting or anything particularly organised, but more random acts of violence. You can be in a club and someone doesn’t like the way you look, whatever, and get cut up. Too much attitude and fear.

Added to that, there is a definite emulation of some elements of US culture, so in that sense things are similar to say Chicago or NY in the 80’s - 90’s.

Peace and chicken grease x
